1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Scott. You ready, Oh, I'm ready to laugh and laugh

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: and laugh.

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,760

4
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: I am here.

5
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: It is clever. Crocodiles in Indonesia are faking drowning to

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: lure humans in to rescue them and then eat them.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a beautiful world. We live on a

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: to heat it up. We are the cold take boys.

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: We do not speak truth to power.

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,440

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: is a special coming out because that is a time

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: where people get revved up and you don't have to

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: talk about your past specials, which I know can be

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: a bummer sometimes too.

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: This is true. This is true.

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,120

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: I don't ever want to speak of that. Ever, No

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: one needs to listen to that. This one's more fun

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: to talk about for sure.

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, where did you record it?

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: So?

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,079

00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: boest love it.

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: There's actually my room.

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: Oh my god, best screen room. It was actually my

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: first time ever at that club, so it was like

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: a little bit of a gamble, but I had just

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: heard from everybody that it was their favorite club in

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: the country, and.

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 5: So I was like, fuck it, let's just do it.

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 5: Rip the tits off it.

67
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: And it just ripped the tits off.

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they're say in Madison. That's a specifically

69
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: Madison expression because it's so cold there.

70
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I moved to Minnesota two years ago, so

71
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: now I would understand it completely. It was negative eighteen

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: here last week and I almost almost perished. It's it's

73
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: really insane what happens out here. I don't get why

74
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: it's even like a place that people live. I only

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: moved here because this is where my boyfriend is from.

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 5: But other than that, it's.

77
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: Like I wish it was kind of like a spirit

78
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: Halloween where it's like, let's just be open for a

79
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: couple months, but in the summer and the rest of

80
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: the time, it's like we don't need this, we.

81
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Switch over to a Christmas tree.

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, but yeah, but Madison was lovely, the

84
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: people there were great, and yeah, I'm really happy with

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: how the special turned out.

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's a great feeling. Kurt mentioned the uh

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: the green room there, because you know, you're a touring comic,

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: you've been many places, and sometimes they put you in

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: basically a broom closet, Like sometimes you're really really and

90
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: sometimes the menu at those places is so bad you're like,

91
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to eat for the next five hours.

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: But for some reason, they have like the greatest of

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: It's like a friend's TV show New York apartment with

94
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: a full table with great food with every toy.

95
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: Imagine there's a shot. It's like truly the soundstage of

96
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: the New Girl Show. It's like gorgeous and yeah, I

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe you guys have worked there.

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: I won't say the name of the club.

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: There is a club, uh in California where the green

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: room truly is like the broom closet and it's slashed

101
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 3: the kitchen and I just remember seeing buckets of hot dogs,

102
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: like what you would keep gardening gloves in, but it

103
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: was the hot dogs in there. And I had family

104
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: comm and I was like, you will not eat when

105
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: you were here? Look at me, like you eat before

106
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: you come, do not eat? And so the comedy on

107
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: State green Room, it's like comics, see such dark shit

108
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: that you get a pop a shot machine.

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 5: You feel like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's crazy.

110
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: But whenever Scotty, So, Scotty's a you know, he's a screenwriter,

111
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: so like this is the first time that he's ever

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: been going and doing shows with me live on the road,

113
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: and every single time we go out and goes, I

114
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: have no fucking idea how you stand ups do it?

115
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: I have no idea. This is awful.

116
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fun because it's Kurt and I and

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: I love Kurt and so and we're wearing our dumb

118
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: yellow outfits, and we're talking about other stuff, like we're

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: never worried about our live shows. It's not anxious beforehand.

120
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: We're having a good time as buddies. So I understand that.

121
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: But sometimes Kirk goes out there to run tech and

122
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting on black crap leather sofas and or

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: a love seat, and I'm sitting there looking at all

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: the signed headshots and all the signed tour posters, and

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is fucking terrible. I love and all

126
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: my friends are comics. Kelsey like yeah, and I empathize.

127
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: And I think that everybody that came from nowhere and

128
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: played those shows for two people. Yeah, play the bar

129
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: shows where nobody showed up, and then you get an

130
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: audience and then suddenly have a full club. It's incredible.

131
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: But what people don't know is the mental strain of

132
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: just sitting back there by yourself all night, I mean

133
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: twice in between shows.

134
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: It sucks.

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you have to be broken in a really

136
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: specific way to want to do this for a living.

137
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: And I don't Kurt, if you do this, tell me.

138
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: But sometimes on the road, if it's like an especially

139
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: dark weekend, I will turn the thermost up in my

140
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: hotel room really high, so that when I come back,

141
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm getting a hug from the room.

142
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: That I love.

143
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: That I'm just like, I need to be held by

144
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: this double tree right now because there's no bumper in

145
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: the green.

146
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: I get held by the massive amount of food I

147
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: eat afterwards, and they hugged me from the inside. Yes,

148
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: the pressure is the same. The pressure is the same.

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: I completely here.

150
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: What is the what's the new special about? What do

151
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: you what do you talk about in there? Do you

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: talk about moving?

153
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: I do?

154
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a good chunk of the beginning

155
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: of the special is talking about moving to Minnesota, talking

156
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: about like, I mean, you have to really fucking love

157
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: somebody to move here, and I moved here in January,

158
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: which is just.

159
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: Like trial by fire.

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: It's intense.

161
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 5: It's so intense. So talking about that, talking about how.

162
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: So my my boyfriend is Chad Daniels, who's also a comedian,

163
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: and he's older than me, and so I talk about

164
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: like our age gap. And he has adult children and

165
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: so that's he has a daughter who's about to turn

166
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: twenty one. And that's been an interesting dynamic because you know,

167
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: she'll like she followed me on Instagram when we started dating,

168
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: and then she saw some of my material.

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: About her dad.

170
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: Like I had posted a joke from my previous special

171
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: about that Chad has a sect to me, and he's

172
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: the first guy I've ever been with the sect to me,

173
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: So I like didn't know what to expect, and like,

174
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: is this sort of like, you know, just just a

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: very graphic joke, and like terms of finding out what

176
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 3: what happens, like if it's just dust.

177
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: Or it's everyone.

178
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: Old pixie stick and I've quit jockeing.

179
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: Surprisingly, Surprisingly, it's more dust than it was anything else.

180
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for those listening at home, it's exactly the same,

181
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: nothing changes. It couldn't be more similar. You know something

182
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: a coward go get a secto.

183
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 3: That is that's like the end of my joke is

184
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: saying like it's basically normal. I mean this is again

185
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: it's a little graphic, but I do say I feel

186
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: like it's like beyond Burger, where it's like it looks

187
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: the same, think it looks the same, but then once

188
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 3: it's in your mouth, you're like something's missing. This is

189
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: like me, this is like diet come. This is like wider.

190
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: This is it's different. Anyway, I had posted that joke

191
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: on Instagram, not thinking about that history now followed me,

192
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: and she let her dad know pretty swiftly that I

193
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: had been unfollowed. And uh so, anyway, I like all

194
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: that back in this special, talk about that a little bit,

195
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: and then uh my mom unfortunately has this like very

196
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: rare type of dementia. And and so the last oh

197
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 3: thank you, the last part of the special, I talk

198
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: about like going through that process with her and just trying.

199
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: It's like, it's such a heavy, hard thing to go

200
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: through and to talk about. But I wanted to find

201
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: a way to bring it on stage because it's been

202
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: so great now to I have people come up afterward

203
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: and be like, oh my god, my parent also has

204
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: dementia where my grandmyparent has it. Thank you for finding

205
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: it in a way to like bring some levity. So

206
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: so yeah, I talked about it there.

207
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: That is so such a like my last special, I

208
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: talked about my mom dying of cancer, and that was

209
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: like the last story I don't know twenty minutes of it.

210
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: Thank you okay, And it is such a did you

211
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: Because I wrestled with the piece as a piece for

212
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: like I don't know, like a two years to find

213
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: the right thing to end it with, and it took

214
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: me until we were like getting ready to shoot oh,

215
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: to be actually find the exact actual words that got

216
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: the response that I wanted to so that it like

217
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: ended really high to how long did you have to

218
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: try and find that ending or was it already kind

219
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: of there?

220
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: I you know, I guess I didn't find it because

221
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: I ended up closing on a different joke that wasn't

222
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: about her, but the dementia stuff kind of like led

223
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: into that. But I'm I'm now in that place with

224
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: this new hour that I'm working on on tour where

225
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: I'm talking about it a little bit again and I

226
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: maybe you.

227
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 5: Guys can help me.

228
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find the way to talk about how

229
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: she doesn't always recognize me anymore.

230
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: Now sure, Yeah, I've had that, and how.

231
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: That like I know when she doesn't recognize me because

232
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: she talks to me like a guy with commitment issues,

233
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: Like I'll be like, Okay, I love you, and she's

234
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 3: like that's nice.

235
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: But it's so funny.

236
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: I oh thanks.

237
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: I Also I just feel like it shows you how

238
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: sweet of a human she is because like if you

239
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: think about what's really going on internally for her, so

240
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: few people would react like that if they actually thought

241
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: of strange like this, just strange girl came into your

242
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: bedroom and like hung out with you for eight hours

243
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: and then.

244
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 5: The end was like I love you, you'd be like can

245
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 5: you get the fuck out of you? Like people would

246
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 5: freak out and call the cops, and my mom's just like, Okay,

247
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: that's nice. So I don't know.

248
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: Again, it's it's very dark and I'm trying. It's like

249
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: get in a lot, but it's not like a closing laugh,

250
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: you know.

251
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been dating her long enough. If you got

252
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: a date at least six months before you say I

253
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: love you. My grandmother had to mention also, And the

254
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: last time I saw her, she was she was like Michael,

255
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, I just rolled with it

256
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: so hard, and she was talking out a time when

257
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: I was a little kid and I had the blondest

258
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: hair and a great Dane was licking my hair and

259
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: it was so funny, and so I just was like

260
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: that was the best. Oh my god, I remember that

261
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: so much that I left and then I asked my dad.

262
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: I was like who's Michael. He's like, there's no Michaels.

263
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: I was like, who had a Great Dane growing up?

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: And he's like, I can't remember ever having a great

265
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: Dane anybody extended family. But our interaction for thirty five minutes,

266
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: she's just tears and her eyes laughing about somebody that

267
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: looked like a miniature version of me in the eighties.

268
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: I guess, just getting licked on the head by a

269
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: great Dane and it drove her wild.

270
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: I like that your impulse was to like just yes,

271
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: and it because of apparently like that is a good

272
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: thing to do, because it doesn't upset them, you know,

273
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: like it allows them to just like and then sometimes

274
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: through the telling of it, they'll be able to be like, wait,

275
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: that wasn't you know, Like it comes in to focus

276
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: but correcting, and you can often upset them. I guess, yeah, totally.

277
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, which if you put yourself in that position, like

278
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: it would be upsetting too to have somebody like that

279
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: didn't happen, and you're like, I for sure no, Like

280
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: of course in the moment, they feel like this is

281
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: absolutely true.

282
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: So that is something I had to get used to. Also.

283
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: In the beginning, it was just like, oh, it's actually

284
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: less harmful to just go with this then to keep

285
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: trying to correct and it's like it's a weird thing

286
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: to navigate for sure.

287
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know.

288
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: My first impulse, of course, on that joke is at

289
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 2: the end of the show, getting my impulses to go

290
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: to the audience with it and say, like, somehow led

291
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: it up to the fact that you ask them to

292
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: tell you as as a group that I love you,

293
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: and then after they say I love you, just go, oh,

294
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: well that's nice, and then.

295
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: Oh, my god, that would be great.

296
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear about this crocodile?

297
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 5: Okay?

298
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah, we have that. Okay, So this is

299
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: from the Economic Times. A lot of people sent this

300
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: in when I settled alarm. Every morning, I say what

301
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: does the Economic Times have to say about this issue?

302
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: And turns out they say a lot. This is not

303
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: written by anyone, because the Economic Times, I'm not sure

304
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: is a real newspaper. No, here it is. A new

305
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: video making waves online suggest that crocodiles may be using

306
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: a clever trick to capture prey. The clip, narrated with

307
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: a British accent, picks a crocodile appearing to fake drownding

308
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: in order to attract unsuspecting humans into the water. While

309
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: at first glance, this idea may seem far fetch the

310
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: possibility of this behavior as captured attention. Could crocodiles be

311
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: smart enough to lure tourist into their jaws The crocodile

312
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: drowning trap in the video of the narrator humans really

313
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: just I mean, like this is just a fucking This

314
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: is a newspaper article about a viral video in sight

315
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: of what seems like a human like figure. So it's

316
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: essentially they just they put they go upside down, so

317
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: their little stumpy hand is just one's hand is sticking

318
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: out of the water and then they just wave it

319
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: back and forth like they're drowning, and then slowly get

320
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: like it looks exactly like they have five fingers, and

321
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: from afar it looks like like a child's hand or

322
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: something like that. You would if you like looked at

323
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: it and saw it like jump in. So basically this

324
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: is a very long article. Okay, So while this idea

325
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: of fake drowning is speculative, crocodiles are known to use

326
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: other clever tactics to capture prey. For instance, some crocodiles

327
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: have been observed placing sticks on their heads to attract birds,

328
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: birds which then become their meal. That's interesting. That's kind

329
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: of like trying to catch like quarters from your elbow,

330
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: you know, to try a bird who's on your head.

331
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: New research has also shown that allegais and crocodiles can

332
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: use small sticks to lure birds. Well, they just repeated themselves. Okay,

333
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: it happens times economic times. No, I mean, they have

334
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: been around since the time of dinosaurs, so they've figured

335
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: out how to eat a little bit. But yeah, but anyway,

336
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: that's what they're doing in Indonesia right now. That's what's

337
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: in with the crocodiles.

338
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: Now have we heard of this happening anywhere else they

339
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: have any other crocodiles?

340
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: You know, the economic times, I'm gonna tell you they

341
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: shit on it a little bit. They're like, I don't

342
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: know if this is real. Yeah, I think a lot

343
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: of the other articles I could have chosen from where

344
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: they investigated it with a little more scientific rigor about

345
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: whether or not this could be true. Yea, I've never

346
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: been to Indonesia, but I went to I went to Cambodia,

347
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: when I was in my twenties, my early twenties, it

348
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,239
Speaker 2: was it was real. It's like it's a fascinating like

349
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: the there's thousands, there's thousands, like those hundreds. There's so

350
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: many people there and none of them are American. It's

351
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: crazy walking around.

352
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: That's fucking crazy, you guys.

353
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: But the structures and all of the temples that are

354
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: in the jungle there that you can go and it's

355
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: all the National Park, you know, you can go to.

356
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: It's like mind breaking how many hundreds of them there are,

357
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: and they're gantic. But I was in my twenties. So

358
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: we did that one day, and then the next day

359
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm gonna buy weed. I was like

360
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: twenty three. Of course, somebody like Cambodia. So I go

361
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: and I find a guy and i'd like read in

362
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: a book of how to buy weed in Cambodia, because

363
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: this was before the Internet, or I guess the internet

364
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: just started. And I find a guy and he's on

365
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: a moped and we go. I get on his moped

366
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: and he like drives me around a corner, very safe environment,

367
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: and then he like gets out and he gives me.

368
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: I give him money, he gives me like, I don't know,

369
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: it looks like a collection of tiny sticks, and I'm

370
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: like all right, and I like, go back. And then

371
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: I look at it and it doesn't smell like weed.

372
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like weed.

373
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: It's just like something, you know. Yeah, but of course

374
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: I'm down to try.

375
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: And I didn't throw that in the trash.

376
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: I did not throw that into the trash, and so

377
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: we're good. There's a big issue with and so I

378
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: tried smoking it that night and nothing happened. I was like,

379
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: this is probably bunk, but it didn't stop me from

380
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: doing it again the next day, being like, maybe it's

381
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: the second time. I'll try to if I just believe.

382
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I believe in myself.

383
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: And Cambodia has a huge problem in the fact that

384
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: the camer Rouge buried all of these mines that had

385
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 2: been detected, and Americans buried mines during the Vietnam War, right,

386
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: so both sides were burying mines and like, I don't know,

387
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: ten percent of them at that time had been discovered,

388
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: and they would take people's legs off and arms off

389
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: all the time. So they had a real problem with

390
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: blood supply. And Cambodia and we're like learning all about this,

391
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm going to give blood, you know.

392
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 2: And so I go into a clinic to give blood.

393
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: And my girlfriend at the time we'd been dating since

394
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: college college girlfriend, and she like was doing something else

395
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: and then I was like, oh, I'm gonna go do this,

396
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: and then she was like what And then she sat

397
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: down and I went in and then I'm there and

398
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: I had smoked the weed before I went and was

399
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: sitting down and like they literally put the and this

400
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: is like a clinic. It's just like a room. There's

401
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: no there's like one plastic chair that I'm sitting in.

402
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: It's in the middle of the jungle, you know. Yeah,

403
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: and so I get it. But everything looked pretty like,

404
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: you know, from a twenty three year old's perspective, like, well,

405
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: it looks pretty gleed. And so they put the needle

406
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: in and I start giving blood, and you know, you

407
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: have to wait there for quite some time for all

408
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: the blood to come out, you know, and then my girlfriend,

409
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: who had been sitting in the waiting room just had

410
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: it like I don't know what happened, but she bursts

411
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: in and she's just like crying and she's like don't

412
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: do it. And I was just like, I'm already doing it.

413
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: And then and then I was like, it's okay, don't worry,

414
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: I'll beat you out. And then she was scrying. She left,

415
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: and then right then this the weed like took that

416
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: moment to come out in the weirdest way where I

417
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: just got incredibly paranoid. So that, oh, like the forty

418
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: five minutes that I had to give blood in this

419
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: like one room on a plastic chair, I was.

420
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Just like, did I just kill my son?

421
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 5: Oh my?

422
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 2: And guess what, guys, I did it. And it was

423
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: totally fun. There you are and you should not be worried.

424
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: I was right in my brashness of a twenty three

425
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: year old. Just give blood when you're in Cambodia, give blood. Okay,

426
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: good for you, I know.

427

00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: Always a great choice, always a.

470
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 5: Good choice, absolutely good people.

471
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: What did go wrong? What you want to do is

472
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: document your relationship and your private life as much as

473
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: possible and just put it out there so when that

474
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: breakup comes you look like an idiot. The unknowing bride

475
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: said that her partner was social media influencer who convinced

476
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: her to take partner ceremony as a prank for his

477
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Instagram account. She only recently discovered the marriage was genuine

478
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: and when when he tried to use it to gain

479
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: permanent residency in Australia. What we had a motive. So

480
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: not only did he lie, he like really lied.

481
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: How much?

482
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 5: How many motherfucker.

483
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: What how many actual followers does he have? Let's see

484
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: what's his what's his let me.

485
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: See what his handle is, because I don't even know

486
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: if they mentioned You might have to just google it

487
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: on Google dot com, Kurt, I'll use Google dot cot.

488
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: It's a website just being Google, and then click on

489
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Google link and then there's a search bar and then

490
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: you put in Instagram's stunt wedding turns out to be

491
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: real one. Okay, okay. The bizarre case began in September

492
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: twenty two three, when the woman met her partner on

493
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: an online dating platform. They began seeing each other regularly

494
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: in Melbourne, where they lived at the time, in December

495
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: that year. So I'm running the numbers over here.

496
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: Four months later, four months later, okay, and so they

497
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: were actually dating.

498
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: They were dating, Okay, okay. In December that year, the

499
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: woman proposed to the woman. She accepted. It might be

500
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: a little quick, you know. Two days later, the woman

501
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: attended an event with the man in Sydney. She was

502
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: told it would be a white party where attendees would

503
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: wear white colored clothing and was told to pack a

504
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: white dress, but when she arrived, she was shocked and furious.

505
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: She was finally she was pranked to find no other

506
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: guest president except her partner, photographer, the photographer's friend, and

507
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: a celebrant. According to her deposition that's been quoted in

508
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: court documents. So when I got there, I didn't see

509
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: anybody in white. I asked him what's happening, and he

510
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: pulled me aside and he told me that he's organizing

511
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: a prank wedding for social media, to be precise, his Instagram,

512
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: because he wants to boost his content and wants to

513
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: start monetizing his Instagram page.

514
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's not monetizing this is this is his

515
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: plan not only to make money, but also become an

516
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: Australian citizen. He really thought he had it all, he

517
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: had all wrapped up wild.

518
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a creepy dude, And like, you know,

519
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: we don't know these people. But that seems like the

520
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: point where that woman should have said, I think we

521
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: should break up. It's only been four months. Talking about

522
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: is insane. But what do I know? Maybe he's a

523
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: great genre who I don't know, she said. She had

524
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: accepted his explanation as he was a social media person

525
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: who had more than seventeen thousand followers on Instagram.

526
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: Oh that's it.

527
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's nothing.

528
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's impressive in two thousand and six maybe, but's

529
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: twenty five seventeen thousand. There's totstools online that have more

530
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: followers than that.

531
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: Okay, influencer is being used very loosely here, there's what

532
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 3: are we influencing?

533
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: That's right. Next time I have to give a speech

534
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: and I don't even have an Instagram outside the Banana's account,

535
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like, I'm Scotty Landis I'm a micro influencer. Yes,

536
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: I have less than fifteen thousand followers.

537
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: That's what. Actually, my friend, our friends opened a bread

538
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: shop in La called Breadhead. It's in Venice.

539
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Should go, it's so much great name.

540
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: Breadhead's a good name.

541
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: Shout out Michael.

542
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: But he was saying. He was saying, he's like, the

543
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: thing is that's hard about starting is like you get

544
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: contact by all these micro influencers. And I was like,

545
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 2: what are micro influencers? He's like, there're people with no

546
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: followers who want free food.

547
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 3: Oh my, yeah, it's such an oxymoron micro influence.

548
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: It's like the word influencer is.

549
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 3: Based on that you have a lot of followers, can

550
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: be small.

551
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 2: I have a micro actually have a micro influence over

552
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: two small children that live in my house, and so

553
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: they will be really into it if I tell them too.

554
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they eat for free all the time. Okay. So

555
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: she also believed that a civil marriage would only be

556
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: valid if it had been held in a courthouse. Still,

557
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: she remained concerned. The woman rang a friend and voiced

558
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: her worries, but the friend laughed it off and said

559
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: it would be fine because if it were real, they

560
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: would have had to file a notice of intending marriage first.

561
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Didn't know that educational podcast, which they had not done, reassured.

562
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: The woman went through the ceremony where she and her

563
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: partner exchange wedding vows and kissed in front of a camera.

564
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: She said she was happy to play a long and

565
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: make it seem real. Two months later, her partner asked

566
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: her to add him both as a dependent on her

567
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: application for permanent residency in Australia. Both of them are foreigners.

568
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: When she told him that she could not as they

569
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: were technically not married, he then revealed that their sitting

570
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: wedding Sydney wedding ceremony had been genuine according to the

571
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: woman's testimony.

572
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: But I don't understand, like I know how it works

573
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: in America, maybe it's a little different in Australia. You

574
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: have to sign a paper, you have to sign a

575
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: paper to say you're you're married. Did she I mean,

576
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: like when she was signing that paper.

577
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: She did not sign it? So great segue CURTI. Okay,

578
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: here's the next paragraph. The woman found their marriage certificate

579
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: and discovered a notice of intended marriage which had not

580
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: been filed the month before their Sydney trip, before they

581
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: even got engaged, which she said she did not sign.

582
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: According to the court documents, the signature on the notice

583
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: bears little resemblance to the woman.

584
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: So no, he.

585
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: Ew, which makes me.

586
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Think of that movie Catch Me if you Can, which

587
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: also I've found out recently even that story's fake. Like

588
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: that guy, yeah, no, whole thing.

589
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

590
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: So his greatest scam is he actually convinced people to

591
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: believe that story of him being a scam fake check

592
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 1: writer is fake. So the movie is based on the

593
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: fake book of a fake story.

594
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: Which is actually pretty great.

595
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: Amazing.

596
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like he never worked for the FBI.

597
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: But also that movie is like a perfectly made movie.

598
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: I watch that.

599
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: I enjoy that movie.

600
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: Steve Spielberg, Leo Decapp, T Hanks, How are those three

601
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: going to f it up? But it is funny because

602
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: like that era of writing bad checks, just forging. All

603
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: you have to do is have a convincing signature. It's

604
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: just so crazy. I know everybody wasn't doing it. I

605
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: would have done. Everybody's just constantly writing fake checks. It

606
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: seems like a very easy crime to get away with.

607
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: And then you just leave town.

608
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they don't have any way of finding

609
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: you if you simply leave the town.

610
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: What a time to be alive when this time God's

611
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: so good anonymous everything.

612
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: The woman said, I am furious with the fact that

613
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know that this was a real marriage, and

614
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: the fact that he also lied to me from the beginning,

615
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: and the fact he also wanted me to add him

616
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: to my application, she said. In his deposition, the man

617
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: claimed they had both agreed to these circumstances, and at

618
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: following the proposal, the woman had agreed to marry him

619
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: at an intimate ceremony in Sydney, four people. The judge

620
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: ruled that the woman was mistaken about the nature of

621
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: the ceremony performed, it did not provide real consent or

622
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: participation to the marriage, and he stated in the judgment

623
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: that the marriage could be annulled. And it was October

624
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

625
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: Yay.

626
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: Crazy though, So I'm so confused because they were engaged.

627
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: Correct, I think so? Yeah, they were engaged.

628
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: So it's like, why all the smoke and mirror, Like,

629
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: why not just be like, how would you feel about

630
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: a quick wedding?

631
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 5: I don't know.

632
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 3: I feel like this lady if she was willing to

633
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: say yes to get in engaged within four months, she

634
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: probably would have put up too much of a fight

635
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: on like hobving a wedding shortly after. But when you're

636
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: fucking dupener, then everybody's like, well, what the hell is this?

645
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: It's just like, I'm not going to just talk about it.

646
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to create a ruse, and my ruse will

647
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: be successful because I'll control it.

648
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

649
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: I smell personality disorder. I mean, there's something obviously deeply

650
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: wrong with this. This is insane behavior. This is like

656
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,600

657
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: that are life vloggers or whatever. And then they're going

658
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: to adopt a kid from China, and then they do,

659
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: and then things go sideways and it is peak hate love.

660
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 2: They give back, they give their baby back spoilers. Oh yeah,

686
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: guy sued them because he's like, that's discrimination, and so

687
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: then they moved the exhibit into the ladies room. Uh,

688
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,040

694
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:06,000

695
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: introduced Sam's to bananas. It's so fun. They chat about

696
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: the silliness that we bring into their lives. Sam's and

697
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: Leah thumbs up. And if it's Lee, I'm so sorry.

698
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: Tot's h dash G is thumbing up her husband, Griffin.

699
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: They got married on November fifteenth, and Griffin is planning

700
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: their entire honeymoon to Thailand. Any suggestions, Kelsey, have you

701
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: ever been to Thailand?

702
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: I have not been to Thailand. I do just hope

703
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: that this wedding was consensual. After this last story, I'm

704
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 3: a little nervous for everybody now.

705
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 5: But no, I've never been to Thailand.

706
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: I do have a recommendation. I really liked the island

707
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: this and of course I went. I think in My

708
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 2: brother is a dupt diplomat, so I've been to Thailand

709
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: twice because he was in station in Bangkok.

710
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: Twice.

711
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 2: But Colanta, which is a small island that at least

712
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: when I went again I was in my twenties, was

713
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 2: not as built up as all the other islands, and

714
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: you could like kind of stay on the beach for

715
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: like eight bucks, and it was a beautiful little house

716
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: and get and that includes your dinner, and your dinner

717
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 2: was like just fresh fish out of the ocean. So

718
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 2: I would go and look at Colanta. Not a lot

719
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: of people go to Colanta, or at least that was

720
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 2: the case back then, but things changed so quickly, So

721
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: don't judge me if I'm wrong.

722
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: That's true. Uh, Leila faken it might be Lilah. I

723
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: think it's Leela fake In wants to thumb up her

00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: It's a delightfully furry cat.

748
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I just bring an essence of white trash.

749
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 3: Every podcast was just like, oh, that's crawling on me.

750
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: Was that your cat that you brought into the house?

751
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 5: Yees?

752
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: So I brought I brought the two cats, and he

753
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: brought the Golden doodle and it was chaos for about

754
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: a year.

755
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 2: Was everybody pissing everywhere and.

756
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: Everybody hated everybody.

757
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we would just find a corner and look over

758
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: our shoulders. I mean, my cats are a little older.

759
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: They had never met a dog before, and this is

760
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: like a fifty pound golden doodle. So the first time

761
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: they met the dog, you could just tell that, like

762
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 3: they thought he was a dragon.

763
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 5: They were like, what in the this is it? This

764
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 5: is how we die?

765
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: Here we go.

766
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: But they all get along now. So pretend problems. My

767
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 3: podcast with Chad, we we talk about typically like if

768
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: we got into an argument that week, we like to

769
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 3: decide whether our arguments are pretend problems or real problems.

770
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: Most of the time just pretend problems, you know. But

771
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 3: it's been like kind of a fun, weird version of

772
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 3: couple's therapy for us to take something that maybe in

773
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: the moment we were genuinely annoyed with each other about,

774
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: and then you talk about it on the podcast, and

775
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: because we're both comics, like you inherently want want to

776
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 3: add some level of humor to it, and then we

777
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: end up laughing about it. We end up having people

778
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: write in and be like, oh my god, my husband

779
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 3: and I we just went through this, and here's.

780
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 5: How we dealt with it. So we like to talk

781
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 5: about stuff like that.

782
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: And then we read listener emails and give advice for

783
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: couples or just you know, anybody going through anything and

784
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 3: just try to like help them the best we can.

785
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: And it's been great. We really love doing it.

786
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome. Also, what I think find interesting when

787
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: you talk about because a couple problems a public leap,

788
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 2: and how many people have the exact same shoes. It's

789
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: like a fascinated My wife and I had a podcast

790
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: for a little while that I never talked about it. It

791
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: was on Audible and I think it's it still exists,

792
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 2: called wedlock right after we first got married about getting married,

793
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: and it's really cool. You should everybody should go listen to.

794
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: It was like very highly produced, there's only six episodes,

795
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: but we would talk about problems in our relationship and

796
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 2: then we would immediately get like all of this influx

797
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: of people being like this is my problem.

798
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 6: You know.

799
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,479
Speaker 2: It's just like, yeah, we're all the same, we're all

800
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: dumb animals.

801
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: We're all dumb animals. We just yeah, it's helpful to

802
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: talk about it though.

803
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 5: So it's not.

804
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: You don't get so zoomed in that you make it

805
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 3: a bigger thing.

806
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: Feel alone, I think when you don't talk about it.

807
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's like brought a lot of oxygen

808
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: to our relationship that just kind of diffuses things a

809
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: lot more quickly rather than having things build up.

810
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's awesome.

811
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: Both think that part of being a stand up comedian

812
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: is being more aware or even hyper aware compared to

813
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: the average Joe Mulch and Jane Casserole. Do you think

814
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: it's about being more self aware or more hyper aware

815
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: of the world or not at all?

816
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 2: Kelsey, I'll let you go first.

817
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: I think both, But I think it also depends on.

818
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: The type of material.

819
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 3: Sure, you do, but I suppose even people who are

820
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: like just one liner comics are making a lot of

821
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 3: observations and pulling from stuff that they're aware of. But

822
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 3: I think, especially if you are more like story based,

823
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: you do have to become more aware of your day

824
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: to day and how you're feeling and what's going on,

825
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: because that's the quickest, easiest way I think to come

826
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 3: up with new material is to just be like, oh fuck, yeah,

827
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: I just had this weird interaction like why don't I

828
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 3: write that down? That's it's so easy for if somebody's

829
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: not a comic to just go, oh, that was weird,

830
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: and then you never think about it again.

831
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 5: But we have to kind of put a pin in

832
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 5: it and go, there's probably something here.

833
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: And that's what I would I would even encourage because

834
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: I can honestly find when I go, like, if i

835
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: am working on a different type of project and I'm

836
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: not like writing a whole bunch of stand up or

837
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: from like in the middle of a movie or a

838
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 2: TV show, and I'm not working that part of my brain,

839
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: it starts to atrophy. And then the moment I'm like

840
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 2: all right, I'm back in like we got to start

841
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: writing some stand up and I just start to start

842
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 2: taking little notes throughout the day. The amount of stuff

843
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: that all of a sudden like jumps out of from

844
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 2: life that is available to you is like fascinating, and

845
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: I think it's actually a really cool thing if you

846
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: just for people who aren't performers, who aren't stand ups. Anytime,

847
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: like some little thing that you notice or you think

848
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: or you say, like that was weird or that was funny,

849
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 2: write it down, Because I do think it actually just

850
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 2: gives you not only more of appreciation for life, but

851
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: more of an understanding of like yourself and of other

852
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 2: people as well.

853
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think the podcast with Chad has also been

854
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: helpful for that too, because we have to look back

855
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 3: on our week and be like, Okay, what happened this

856
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: week that we can talk about. Yeah, and we had Yeah,

857
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 3: we have had a fight about. He's like a very

858
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 3: huge Vikings fan and gets like into that weird sports

859
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 3: superstition stuff he bets. It's like feels very high stakes

860
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: and I don't really understand what's going on, and so

861
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 3: I like he feels like I JINXD one of these

862
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 3: games you did, which to me is.

863
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 5: Like such psychosis.

864
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: I think that like me preemptively being like looks good,

865
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: it actually impacts the outcome of the game, and so

866
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 3: we like sincerely in the moment, he was like pretty

867
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: annoyed at me, and I was like, you have to

868
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 3: be kidding me that you think that I have that

869
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: sort of power to change it. And then we talked

870
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: about on the podcast and I didn't even think about

871
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 3: it again for another like three months. I just now

872
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 3: started to talk about it on stage, and it's become

873
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: like the thing I'm most excited to do now, and

874
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: it's been like connected. You can see a lot of

875
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: couples who clearly have dealt with the same thing. But

876
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 3: it's exactly what you're saying. Unless I'm like, oh, what happened?

877
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: That is sharing That could have just gone into the

878
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: abyss and I would never thought about it.

879
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: Again, and then it's just an like that's what I

880
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 2: kind of like about making stand up about it, because

881
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: it could have just been an annoying conversation that happened once,

882
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 2: but instead it makes money evil.

883
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: It's true. I have a few sports obsess fans, and

884
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: what I like to do is I like to see

885
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: what the score of whatever team they're cheering for, and

886
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: if they're up, if they're up by fourteen points, you know, safe,

887
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: but not too safe. I always send them a text

888
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: that says like, so, if I was friends with your

889
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: boyfriend and Vikings were leading in the fourth quarter, I

890
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: would text him there's no way the Vikings and YEA

891
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: like block me. Like my friend Danny was like, I

892
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: fucking hate you just for texting there's no way this

893
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: team will lose the game, and he was like, are

894
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: you serious? Right now. And I'm like, if you think

895
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: this text message from somebody who's just trolling you the

896
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: lightest way possible, And he like, he blocked me. And

897
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: then he's like, I unblocked you recently because I want

898
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: to ask you something. I'm like, that's fine, I.

899
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 5: Need something from you.

900
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need you to read a script for me.

901
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 3: Okay, well, And I feel like typically the men who

902
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 3: are the most superstitious can also fall into the category

903
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: of men who are very anti woo woo thing. You know,

904
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: probably don't have like a vision board or like believe

905
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 3: in functuy, but like the second it involves sports and money,

906
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 3: they're the most like crystal bitches you've ever met, like

907
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: that happening right now?

908
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 5: They just like.

909
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: I like that a lot, true, pretty be? Did you

910
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: have a story on that one?

911
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 5: Sure?

912
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: Dad?

Speaker 1: Here we go.

920
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: This was on artnet.

921
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: You this before I think so that's a real website.

922
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,760
Speaker 2: It was written by Brian Boucher. Hey, Brian, Brian Boucher.

923
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: Ooh, best in the bees wax.

924
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 2: Best in the boosh Brian Boucher. Viral women only artwork

925
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: returns to view after Supreme Court win, one of the

926
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 2: most viral artworks of twenty twenty four. Well, we'll return

927
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 2: to its Tasmanian home, maybe in Australia following a short

928
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: period of being bathballed after losing a discrimination court case.

929
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: That's right.

930
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: Artist Kersha Ktchelli's Ladies Lounge, which captivated audiences made headlines

931
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: all over the globe, is going back on view at

932
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, just

933
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 2: in time for the holidays. The performance in installation work

934
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 2: consists of a luxe parlor where men exist only to

935
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: serve the needs of women as they lounge, snack on

936
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: cannabase and zip champagne, all as a playful commentary on

937
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 2: a long history of discrimination. In the other direction, precious

938

Speaker 2: fakes created just for the installation even better, Yes, great.

941
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: It was on uncontroversial view since twenty twenty At the museum,

942
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: founded by Coccelli's husband, David Walsh, she refers to herself

943
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: as the institution's first Lady until March twenty twenty four,

944
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: when one Jason Lao of New South Wales took issue and.

945
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 6: Finally discrimination complaint with the local Anti discrimination commissioner at

946
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 6: the Tasmanian. I know it's such a what a the

947
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 6: smallest man.

948
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 2: In the mayl went to the museum judge like that

949
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 2: would be a good children's book, Like the tiniest man

950
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 2: goes into a museum.

951
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: Campaign.

952
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: A judge decided against the museum and the artist. In April,

953
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: so a judge decided against the museum, which is crazy,

954
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 2: ruling that the lounge must admit men or close. They

955
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: appealed to the Supreme Court of Tasmania. While awaiting the

956
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: High Court's decision, Cacelli slyly exploited a clause in the

957
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 2: lower court's judgment that said men could reasonably be excluded

958
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 2: from a ladies restroom, temporarily moving the picassos and other

959
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: artifacts into a women's bathroom, but ultimately the Supreme Court

960
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: decided in favor of the artist in September, writing in

961
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: his judgment that the work gave women a rare glimpse

962
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: of what it is like to be advantaged. According to

963
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: press materials, entry for ladies and exclusion for men is

964
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,480

00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: leave from everybody alone. Just leave the women alone, leave

981
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: dudes alone, everybody, just leave each other alone for fucking

982
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: an hour. I mean, it's crazy that this guy had

983
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: everybody just leave each other alone. It's so easy to

984
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: leave other people alone and just to let them have

985
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,480

987
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 1: You're like, you're a fucking idiot.

988
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole idea of it's so easy. I've been

989
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: trying to work on a new bit, which is having

990
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 2: children gives you the the ability to forgive your parents,

991
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: but the unwillingness to do so, because like as when

992
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 2: you become a parent, you then see how very hard

993
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 2: it is, right and you can kind of have empathy

994
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: for someone who's just like, I'm just gonna walk away

995
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: from it all into the ocean. But also every time

996
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 2: you do something that your parent didn't do for you,

997
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 2: you're like, was that so hard? Was that so hard?

998
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: Guess what, dad? Today I didn't fuck my secretary and

999
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 2: it wasn't hard at all.

1000
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: How hard that, dad?

1001
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 5: Oh, that's so funny.

1002
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 2: I love that what I've already done it once, I've

1003
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 2: only done it once. I'm gonna try it out again tonight.

1004
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 5: No, that's so smart. I don't have kids, but I

1005
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 5: love it.

1006
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 3: Would I would imagine that will resonate with every every parent.

00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a good title for an upcoming special.

1008
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: Was that so hard? Is a very easy, simple.

1009
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 3: Hard?

1010
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,520
